A new research shows that resistant bacteria can regain susceptibility to antibiotics when the treatment is combined with a material equipped with antibacterial peptides. It also reveals that antibiotics can achieve a 64-fold increase in bactericidal effect when used together with the material, whose antibacterial properties are also greatly enhanced by this combination.

Can a common plant compound hold the key to treating food allergies naturally? Researchers from Tokyo University of Science have discovered that kaempferol, a flavonoid found in foods like kale, tea, and broccoli, enhances the body’s ability to suppress allergic responses.

The domestication of plants and animals has played a key role in the development of human societies. And microbes, too, have been tamed: a study by Unil shows that the bacteria used to produce Gruyère, Emmental and Sbrinz cheese show signs of ancient domestication.

A UC Riverside study redefines patience as a strategy for managing impatience, uncovering how personality traits and emotional skills influence responses to everyday delays.

Wearing sunscreen is important to protect your skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation but doesn’t cool people off. However, a new formula, described in ACS’ Nano Letters, protects against both UV light and heat from the sun using radiative cooling.

In a recent analysis of data from more than a dozen studies, coffee and tea consumption was linked with lower risks of developing head and neck cancer, including cancers of the mouth and throat.

Waves of human migration across Europe during the first millennium AD have been revealed using a more precise method of analysing ancestry with ancient DNA, in research led by the Francis Crick Institute. The researchers can bring together a picture of how people moved across the world by looking at changes in their DNA.

As AI and robots become smarter and more integrated into daily life, they raise profound questions about ethics, law, and society. The Cambridge Handbook of the Law, Policy, and Regulation for Human-Robot Interaction dives into these challenges, offering global insights on privacy, trust, and the future of human-robot coexistence.

Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking nanopore-based tool capable of diagnosing diseases faster and more precisely than ever before — using signals from individual molecules. This revolutionary device could detect infections within 48 hours and distinguish subtle differences in proteins, paving the way for earlier interventions, personalized medicine, and advances in molecular research.

A research team led by the University of Southampton and UWE Bristol has shown wearable electronic textiles (e-textiles) can be both sustainable and biodegradable.
